    i bought a thimble for a filter today

    I worked at an Autozone for a while as a second job. Don't knock the employees, they only know what they are taught. Do you think they will work extra hard to learn more about the parts when they are only being paid $7/hr? When I worked there if they had any question about oil and filters I was...

    Oil temperature Guage

    I already have 1 sandwich adapter on my 2002 S-10 for the bypass filter. Maybe I can install it at the adapter.

    Oil temperature Guage

    I have seen on here where people are talking about oil temperature. None of the cars I have owned has ever had a guage like this. So I am going to ask: 1. where would you install one (I know the oil temp will vary based on where in the engine it is)? 2. How do you install it? 3. What should my...

    About using that MMO/ATF mix..

    I recently ran about 16 gallons of gas with 1 pint of MMO and 1 quart of ATF with premium gas. Now on this tank full I am running a quart of MMO with 87 octane. I'd love to see how clean my pistons and heads are when I am done. I don't think I really needed it because back a few months ago I...

    Which oil gets up to the operating temperature faster??

    Medic, You are on to something. Most people are confusing their temp guage for their coolant with that of the oil. Just because your engine is up to temperature doesn't mean your oil is. Actually, your engine does not have the same temperature all over it. At the oil pan, I would assume the...

    TP Filter on a Hemi?

    I have a 2002 S-10 that I recently switched to a by pass filter. I know its not the same application as yours, but I also had a problem with filter size. I ended up using a 3614 filter. It has the right size threads for the perma cool and is small enough to fit in my application.

    M1 or RP ??

    Vetteman, I was not arguing with you. I know you are a great supporter for RP. I was mad at what 1911 said with his totally wrong mistake. Also there is some dumb Amsoil dealer on here knocking RP too. Sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable, but when someone posts something, they better have the...

    M1 or RP ??

    Let's set the record straight. I'm tired of seeing everyone knock Royal Purple. I have been using RP for the last 35,000 miles on my S10. My dad run RP in his Canyon. We both love the oil. Royal Purple with the API is 80% Group 4 PAO and 20% carrier oil which I believe is Group 2. The only oil I...

    OK, I need to ask it here I guess - tennis balls

    also, I forgot to add, tennis balls come in a pressurized can. Once they are out of the can, they start to lose their bounce. An older ball, or one that has been sitting around unpressurized will have less bounce.

    OK, I need to ask it here I guess - tennis balls

    I am not exactly clear on what you mean by a #2 ball. Penn and wilson both mae the most popular balls and they have numbers listed on the balls under their logo. I always thought this was so you could identify your balls. When playing in a tournament, balls fly all over the place, and it's an...

    Mobil 1 5w20 -vs- Royal Purple 5w20

    But if you also look, it did not thicken as much as the other oils did.

    Do I have it all wrong?

    I believe you are on the right track, but I do not believe synthetic oil can clean anywhere near as good as Auto-Rx.

    Chevy Colorado Vs. Nissan Frontier vs. Tacoma

    My dad has a Colorado and loves it. The only thing he doesn't like is there is no keyed entry on the passenger side. To get in the passenger side, he must go to the drivers side, unlock the passenger side, and walk around to get in the passenger side. He is a big man, so crawling through the...

    Install

    Gary Allen, you are the man. I bought and installed the Super tech 3615 filter and everything fits great. You the Man. Just took the truck for a test drive and to check for leaks. Now I need to see how much more oil to add for the extended hoses. Once again thanks.

    Install

    I know, I know, I said I wasn't going to ask any more questions. I tried to install the M-30 yesterday. Installed the M-30, put on the sandwich adapter, cut the hoses to length, everything was ready to go except the oil filter. Went and bought the PH43 since I knew I didn't have much clearence...
